A tankie is an authoritarian communist, the kind of folks who play apologist for the Soviet and Chinese regimes running over protesters with tanks. Hence the name.

It is my core belief that corporations need to be hit with big sticks regularly to keep them in check

Well, a lot of us here would put it more along the lines of "Corporations need to be run by workers, not investors", but I think you're pretty safe from tankieism with that view.
